This is an answered prayer, but it also isn’t the end. Let’s pray that no abortion pills are distributed anywhere in America!
From LifeNews. Walgreens has indicated it will not sell the dangerous abortion pill that kills babies and injures women in 20 states that protect babies from abortion. This comes after an alliance of 20 Republican Attorneys General contacted the drug chain, along with competitor CVS, and threatened legal action if it violated their state laws either banning abortions or limiting sales of the abortion pill.

Walgreens responded to a letter led by the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins and co-signed by CatholicVote President Brian Burch. While Walgreens acknowledged it intended to seek certification to sell the abortion drug mifepristone, the retail pharmacy giant suggested it would stop short in states where pro-life laws forbid such sales.
The decision comes after recent reports that the abortion drug killed one woman in Canada.
According to an AP report, Walgreens spokesperson Fraser Engerman confirmed that the company sent a response to each of the attorneys general saying that it will not dispense mifepristone in their states.
He also said the company is not currently dispensing mifepristone, although it is working to become eligible through a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated certification process. That process requires pharmacies to meet specific standards in shipping, tracking and confidentially storing drug prescribing records.
He said the company “will dispense only in those jurisdictions where it is legal to do so if we are certified.” …
The AGs also wrote to CVS, Albertsons, Rite Aid, Costco, Walmart and Kroger demanding they not dispense the dangerous abortion pill in their states at their pharmacies. …
The drug mifepristone, typically used with a second drug, misoprostol, now is used for more than half of all abortions in the U.S., killing nearly half a million unborn babies annually, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
The FDA has linked mifepristone to at least 28 women’s deaths and 4,000 serious complications between 2000 and 2018. However, under President Barack Obama, the FDA stopped requiring that non-fatal complications from mifepristone be reported. So the numbers almost certainly are much higher. …
